Victory in the top duel! Milano hands KAC their first defeat

KAC Desperate, Milano Remains Extremely Effective

Subsequently, KAC played diligently in the middle period but despaired over their lack of efficiency despite several great scoring opportunities. HCM, however, continued to display precisely this effectiveness on the ice.

Blake McLaughlin scored the 3:0 unassisted, shooting over the back of KAC goalie Florian Vorauer (30.). But the Klagenfurt team did not give up and came back into the game in the final period.

KAC's Comeback Attempt Not Rewarded in the End

Nick Petersen needed only eleven seconds in the power play after a Cuglietta holding penalty to score the 1:3 goal (48./PP1). Daniel Obersteiner then pushed the puck over the line six minutes later, giving the Carinthians hope for a home victory.

A big chance followed for Klagenfurt in a 5-on-3 power play situation. However, the Klagenfurt team wasted two minutes in a double power play and paid the price.

Because Nick Caamano scored an empty-net goal for the Italians, making it 4:2. Thus, KAC suffered their first loss of the season after five victories in the first five games.

No success for VSV in Rauchenwald's comeback

VSV lost 0:1 against Fehervar AV19 in the sixth round of the win2day ICE Hockey League.

The team from Villach could already announce the most important news of the day with their lineup: After more than 300 days out, captain Alexander Rauchenwald has recovered from his severe knee injury and returns to action.

Initially, the Villach team's game looked decent, with Rauchenwald himself hitting the post. However, the VSV offensive gradually fizzled out. More and more small errors crept in.

One Goal Enough for Fehervar

When Alex Wall received a two-minute penalty for a slashing infraction at the start of the second period, the Villach penalty kill initially worked flawlessly, even creating dangerous situations with four skaters.

Then, 16 seconds before the penalty expired, came the cold shower: Farkas reacted fastest in the chaos in front of the Eagles' goal and slammed the loose puck into the net (25., PP). It would remain the only goal of the game. The Villach team became increasingly toothless offensively, and Fehervar saw out their narrow lead.

With six points from five games, VSV is in eleventh place in the standings, while Fehervar is seventh with nine points from six matches.
